The season OF Lent, the penitential
season of the church, commenced last
Wednesday-Ash Wednesday-and will
continue until the evening before Easter,
period of forty days, exclusive of all
Sundays within that period, as all the
Sundays are fast days and are not includ-
ed in the period known as Lent.
The season of Lent is one of fasting,
humiliation and prayer. 1t is kept in
commemoration of the total abstinence
OF Jesus Christ from all manner OF food
for forty days during his temptation by
the devil IN The wilderness. The pious
members of the church who most vigor-
ously keep it will abstain during the
season irom all worldly amusements, OBJ
serve the prescribed rules laid down by
the head OF the church, and conform in
SO far as they can to the life of Him, who
when on earth, endured the temptations
of the evil ones and conquered the power
of His divinity.

The ladies who teach the Morristown
Sewing School need a little more money,
about twenty dollars, to meet the re-
mainder of their expenses for this sea-
son AS the sum is so small contribn-
lions of fifty cents, or dollar, are all
that are asked, and may be sent in to
Mrs. L. N. Hitchcock.
The school has been hitherto supported
by the ladies who teach it, and few Of
their personal friends, and as the annual
Expenditure is only from fifty to seventy
five dollars they have SO far cnntrived
to meet it. But they feel that the school
has a claim upon wider interest and
support. It is held every Saturdaxamorn-
ing for SIX rnor.sitls3 IN N 1 he b Z 6aol

suitable age, without distinction g creed
or color, who wishes to come to it, and
is willing to obey the rules. Last Noyem-
Der it opened with hundred scholars.
1t teaches an art as indispensable to
women as reading or writing, and yet
one which is entirely unprovided for in
the public school in this place.
The Board of Education grant the free
use OF their rooms, but have declined to
make any money appropriation for it, as
it is under private management. The
ladies feel however that it has right to
appeal to the interest of the public al
large, as being one of the benevolent
efforts which are usually So literally
supported in Morristown.

Henry EckeTt, German 80 years of
age, employed in the silk mill at Boonton,
got on spree last Saturday and was ar
rested by officers Gilmartin and Hitler and
taken to the 3oonton lock up. Before
reaching the lookup, however, Echert be-
came very troublesome, and it required
the united strength of the officers to land
him behind the bars. Just as the prisoner
got inside the lookup he whipped out a
revolver and placing it in close proximity
to Gilmartin's chest pulled the trigger, but
the weapon failed to 90 off. A fierce
struggle, during which several shots we're
fired by the prisoner without effect, then
ensued and after severe and deserved
clubbing, the would-be murderer was sub
dued and locked up. He was subse-
quently committed TO Jail to await the
action of the Grand Jury.
In 1877 EclSert killed his wife in West
Hoboken by throwing her out of a window,
for which crime he was sentenced to fifteen
years in State Prison, but was pardoned
after serving seven years.
